REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Part 68 of FCC Rules Information

a) This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC

rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the

bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among

other information, a product identiﬁer in the format

US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be

provided to the telephone company.

b) A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the

premise’s wiring and telephone network must comply with

the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted

by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug,

RJ11C USOC, is provided with this product. It is designed

to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also

compliant. See installation instructions for details.

c) The REN is used to determine the number of devices

that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs

on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in

response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the

sum of RENs should not exceed ﬁve (5.0). To be certain of

the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as

determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone

company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN

for this product is part of the product identiﬁer that has the

format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.

The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal

point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN

is separately shown on the label.

d) If this telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone

network, the telephone company will notify you in advance

that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.

But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company

will notify customers as soon as possible. Also, you will be

advised of your right to ﬁle a complaint with the FCC if you

believe it is necessary.

Part 15 of FCC Rules Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This

device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device

must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

Your equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in residential

installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance

with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to

radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception (which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on) you are encouraged to try

to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

1. Where it can be done safely, reorient the receiving

television or radio antenna.

2. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or

other receiver with respect to the telephone equipment. (This

increases the separation between the telephone equipment

and the receiver.)

3. Connect the telephone equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the television, radio or

other receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician

for help.

WARNING: Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly

approved by the manufacturer responsible for compliance

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk

of ﬁre, electric shock and injury to persons, including the

following:

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the

telephone.

3. Do not use this telephone near a bathtub, wash basin,

kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a

swimming pool or anywhere else there is water.

4. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type)

during a storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical

shock from lightning.

5. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the

vicinity of the leak.

6. Unplug this telephone from the wall outlets before

cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on

the telephone. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

7. Place this telephone on a stable surface. Serious damage

and/or injury may result if the telephone falls.

radiator or heat register. This telephone should not be

placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is

provided.

9. Operate this telephone using the electrical voltage as

stated on the base unit or the owner’s manual. If you are

not sure of the voltage in your home, consult your dealer or

local power company.

10. Do not place anything on the power cord. Install the

telephone where no one will step or trip on the cord.

11. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this

can increase the risk of ﬁre or electrical shock.

12. Never push any objects through the slots in the

telephone. Such objects can touch dangerous voltage points

or short out parts that could result in a risk of ﬁre or

electrical shock. Additionally, never spill liquid of any kind on

the telephone.

instructions. Improper adjustment may require extensive work

by a qualiﬁed technician to restore the telephone to normal

operation.

15. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

16. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the

jack is speciﬁcally designed for wet locations.

17. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals

unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the

network interface.

18. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Part 68 of FCC Rules Information

Industry Canada Technical Speciﬁcations

This product meets the applicable Industry Canada

technical speciﬁcations.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it

is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local

telecommunications company. The equipment must also be

installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some

cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line

individual service may be extended by means of a certiﬁed

connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer

should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may

not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs

to certiﬁed equipment should be made by an authorized

Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier.

Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment,

or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications

company cause to request the user to disconnect the

equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical

ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and

internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected

together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural

areas.

WARNING: Users should not attempt to make such

connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate

electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the

maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a

telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist

of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement

that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the

devices does not exceed ﬁve.

(The term “IC:” before the certiﬁcation/registration number

only signiﬁes that the Industry Canada technical speciﬁcations

were met.)
